I'm building several large frame & panel structures with wide stiles (4-5") using black walnut. I would like to use 2 10x50 dominoes per stile end. If I place each mortise in the stile end grain an inch apart do I have to worry about seasonal movement splitting the stile (or rail) where the corresponding rail has the mortise in long grain? I realize I could make one rail mortise a little oversized but once I apply glue it won't make any difference.
Suggestions?
